This is cruel. I have felt that if you cannot raise a child, then don't have one. Mistakes happen, and that's when responsibility needs to kick in. Adoption gives the child, who may have been concieved by accident, a chanve to grow up with parents who want her/him. Destroying the life that was created is unfair to that life. How many of us over the age of 37 would have been"terminated" if our mothers had Roe v Wade as an excuse? How many of us were accidents? Are you glad to be alive and thankful your mother didn't "terminate" you? Is the world a better place with you in it, or should you have "terminated" because you rather not be here? How many of our own kids these days were "accidents" but who give us joy, and one day may grow up to honor the human race by high achievements? How many of us make decisions that we later regret? Sleeping with the wrong person and getting pregnant is something many women will regret, but ending the life inside her body is something many women in retrospect will regret as well. Two wrongs don't make a right.
Being selfish and destroying life is not the answer to accidental conception. Remember, we don't have to spread our legs if we don't want the risk of getting pregnant. Fun has its consequences. Teaching girls to be responsible to wait and to have self respect, improves self image over the long term that is already badly damaged by the media, peer pressure and society. Getting drunk and making a mistake, means first not getting drunk. And even if a woman is careful and still gets pregnant and is not ready to be a mother, think of the millions of women who are ready to be a mom and cannot, and spend thousands of dollars and countless years trying to conceive. Give then the gift that you don't want.
Roe v Wade arguably has been more a curse than a blessing. It has opened up women to more, not less sexual abuse and objectification. Abortion also gives men the excuse to disrespect our bodies. If we "give it up" easy and something happens, there's "easy clean-up". But what has the woman gained from all that? More importantly, what has she lost?
Race and access to health care are smoke screen excuses for abortion providers to make money. Who are the victims of corporate abortion? Minority women. Poor and inner city women are targeted by the corporate abortion industry. They make their money on how many abortions can be done. The more the merrier. Minoirty groups are dessimated because their next generation is being killed off. Those poor girls who get pregnant are the victims of this entire money making charade. If you truly want to help these girls, then education and prevention is the way to go. Wouldn't it be better to have these girls strive for career success and self-betterment and be an example to their community? That would fulfill the Equality mantra chanted all the time. Free abortions don't help these girls. It sends them the wrong message that bad choices can be erased by hitting the "reset button", and getting an abortion. It does not teach them good lessons in order to prevent future mistakes. Men lose, not gain repsect for women who do not respect themselves. If we want respect as women, we must resepct our bodies and use our minds, not be slaves to our bodies and give in. Societies that force women into early marriages, condone rape and sexual abuse cannot be easily changed by us in America or the "enlightened" women's movement. those societies do not like America, and certainly do not like us coming over there to tell them what to do. We may hate their behavior, and it is unfair to those women trapped there, but we cannot fix all the world's ills. We should have learned the lesson of the war in Iraq: we in America cannot export out ideas and impose them on others. If people want to adopt our ideas, then they come here, like they have done for the last 400 years, to escape their native lands.
Women need to control their bodies. . . .and keep their legs shut.
